The 180-and 111-nucleotide duplications occurred in A2c lineage G protein increased in prevalence throughout the study, in addition to short genetic changes observed in other HMPV lineages. Novel variants carrying duplications might present an evolutionary advantage due to an improved steric shielding, which would have been responsible for the reported increasing prevalence and the association to LRTI in adults. The aims of this study were to describe circulation pattern, genetic diversity and clinical impact of HMPV in paediatric and adult population attended at a tertiary university hospital in Barcelona from the 2014-2015 to the 2016-2017 seasons, focusing on the emergence and spread of variants carrying these two nucleotide duplications. ./cache/cord-335891-j78pnwgk.txt ./txt/cord-335891-j78pnwgk.txt
